Drop Testing via Drop Test Systems and Drop Testers

A drop test determines the ability of a package to withstand
the rigors of handling by humans and machinery in the shipping and handling
(i.e. distribution) environment. Several studies have conclusively demonstrated
that a truly flat drop represents the worst possible input to a packaged
product. Hence, it’s important that lab-based drop tests be conducted
using a drop-test system carefully engineered to insure the flattest impacts
possible.
